Sauerkraut Pepa Guide: Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 Cabbage Thief Quest

In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, the side quest "Cabbage Thief" introduces you to a moral dilemma involving Sauerkraut Pepa. This guide will help you navigate the quest and understand the outcomes of your choices.

How to Start Cabbage Thief in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

To kick off the "Cabbage Thief" side quest, you need to speak with Baliff Thrush in Troskowitz. He's typically roaming around the village during the day or can be found in the tavern, so you might need to search a bit to find him. Engage him in conversation and inquire about recent happenings in town. He'll mention the ongoing cabbage thefts and direct you to the Grocer NPC, located just south of Troskowitz. A chat with the Grocer will officially start the "Cabbage Thief" quest.

Cabbage Thief Location

To track down the thief, follow your objective marker which leads to a trail of cabbages scattered on the ground. Continue along the road, and it will guide you towards Nebakov Fortress. Keep an eye out for a hidden path that runs through the river. Along this path, you'll come across a cart filled with cabbages. Just a short distance ahead, you'll encounter Sauerkraut Pepa, the notorious cabbage thief.

Should You Spare or Turn In Sauerkraut Pepa?

When confronting Sauerkraut Pepa, you face three options: sparing him, killing him, or turning him in.

• Sparing Him: If you choose to let him go, Pepa will reward you with some sauerkraut and offer to cook more for you in exchange for cabbages. Pepe's Sauerkrauts are invaluable as they never spoil and provide significant healing and nourishment. This choice is ideal if you prioritize having reliable healing items over immediate financial gain.
• Killing or Turning Him In: Opting to kill or turn in Pepa will earn you a reward of 789 groschen from Baliff Thrush. This option is better suited if you're in need of money at that point in the game.

Your decision hinges on your current needs—whether it's the immediate financial boost or the long-term benefits of healing items. Personally, the healing provided by Pepe's Sauerkrauts proved more useful, especially since money can be easily earned through other means like playing dice with the right setup.
